About the Item

A serene and elegant Japanese bronze sculpture depicting a pair of birds resting on a large, naturalistically rendered leaf. Likely crafted during the Showa period, this piece showcases exquisite detail and patination, with soft reddish-brown hues and subtle incised featherwork that capture the delicate grace of the birds in quiet repose. The composition suggests themes of harmony and companionship—frequent motifs in Japanese art—and the birds’ rounded forms and gentle expressions evoke a tranquil presence. The bronze is polished to a rich, smooth surface, highlighting the artisan’s mastery of material and finish. Set on a finely shaped black wooden base with curved legs, the sculpture makes a refined decorative statement—equally suited to a traditional tokonoma alcove or a modern curated interior.
